"Healthy, permanent weight loss invariably comes from a total change in eating habits. In order to be accepted, new foods must be delicious and easy to prepare. We encourage our patients at the Physicians Commitee for Responsible Medicine to try many of the recipes in the NEWSTART® cookbook. They love these foods and that is essential to their success."
Neal D. Barnard, M.D. — Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine; Washington, DC
"...Even a person who eats meat will appreciate a great vegetarian cookbook because the more fruits and vegetables you eat, the lower the risk of heart disease and almost all cancers. I'm constantly trying to encourage people to find more vegetarian meals they can enjoy. Kudos for Weimar's contribution to this effort."
Robert Pritikin, Director Pritikin Longevity Center
"The NEWSTART Lifestyle Cookbook is filled with delicious recipes made from 'clean' ingredients. For a change, we don't have to take out the oil, dairy, and egg products. All the recipes looked interesting, but we especially enjoyed the breakfasts, desserts, and breads, and the many helpful hints. We will recommend this book."
John McDougall, MD and Mary McDougall The McDougall Program
"The scientific evidence now has become substantial that the closer an individual approximates a plant based diet, using good quality and varied food while minimized consumption of added fat, salt and sugar, the greater the health benefits. It's only a question of how to accomplish such a change. The NEWSTART Lifestyle Cookbook is a good place to start."
T. Colin Campbell, PhD, Director China-Oxford-Cornell Project on Diet, Lifestyle and Disease
A low-fat vegetarian diet has no cholesterol and is low in total fat, saturated fat, and oxidants, and high in antioxidants and dietary fiber. Fruits, vegetables, grains, and beans are also rich in phytochemicals, bioflavenoids, carotenoids, and other compounds that may help prevent many forms of cancer and even help to slow the aging process. Increasing scientific evidence indicates that rates of heart disease, stroke, breast cancer, colon cancer, lymphoma, osteoporosis, diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and many other illnesses are substantially higher in people who eat a meat-based diet than in vegetarians.
The NEWSTART Lifestyle Cookbook is full of delicious and nutritious recipes that can make a meaningful difference in your life."
Dean Ornish, MD, Preventative Medicine Research Institute
"According to God's holy, inerrant Word, the Bible, our bodies are the temples of God--His chosen dwelling place. The principles and ideas in the NEWSTART Lifestyle Cookbook will help keep our temples healthy and vibrant for God's holy Service."
Dr. Bill Bright, Founder and President Campus Crusade for Christ International
"In our never-ending search for delicious food combinations that are also nutritious and scientifically sound, Weimar's NEWSTART Lifestyle Cookbook, must have a place at the top of our list."

"When you reduce the amount of animal products in your diet, you protect your heart, and your body will thank you for the rest of your life. The NEWSTART Lifestyle Cookbook is a splendid gift for anyone wanting to eat more healthfully."
John Robbins, Author of Diet for a New America, and Reclaiming Our Health
"Many today are convinced that they should be 'eating better.' Few find it easy to make the shift. This book can make the difference and make it attractive."
Dr. Ralph Winter, Founder US Center for World Mission and William Cary Intl. University
"There is now good evidence that a low fat vegetarian diet can be an effective treatment for the non-insulin dependent diabetic patient. Patients on such diets are able to reduce or stop their diabetic medications including insulin. Additional benefits include reductions in blood pressure and cholesterol. The recipes in the NEWSTART Lifestyle Cookbook provide an excellent guide for patients and their families embarking on this lifestyle change. The recipes are easy to prepare, nutritious and delicious."
Mark Sklar, MD, Researcher Georgetown University Medical Center Washington, DC Medical Director of the study examining the effects of a low-fat vegan diet on Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus.
